MR. MINER GIVES THE TALK PRACTICAL TURN
Mr. Miner was OF bringing out one point here
and he said. turning to Mrs. Potter:
Tell how much money you lost 1t has Deeh puDisheu
that your hacker was behind $4,000"
Mrs Potter seemed disinclined TO speak OF this anu
Mr. Miner added such loss is ridiculous Mrs Potter
had her salary at the lIaymarke ami IN her hhe weeks
at the Gaiety she made money
Mr Potter archcd head little ana put TINS query
10 Mr.. Miner:
They say / lost money!" Then she answered her
own question by saying " How silly!
Mr. Miner spoke of Mrs. Potter's meeting Miss Ander-
fact that She met Miss Anderson in London and had
t,own her unite A while" Mr.. Miner wanted TO MAKE
it clear that management of the laynarNet ha' as
an aferthcught advertised Mes Potter as star where
as she had never had any intention OF so appearing
there have already stated my position about mat
her comment
Mrs Potter was chary of expressing her views on
London aud American audiences for when inerrosaed
on that point she replied with smile:
So am not q Judge OF American audiences can te!i
better after my first night"
Are London audiences less enthusiastic than here
81 know nothing of American audienccs-s 1T not
strange -
She had evidently taken a strong liking to Loyal
love-" for she said OF the play:
am sorry Mr. Miner is not going TO play Loyai
Love before we leave New-York"
Mr. Key protested that the play was too poetca haa
no comedy ana was not play TO " go"
But" srs. Potter protesel " 1t Is beautiful pay
with exquisite language.
The conversation then turned 10 Nile dc Bressief,

mark that Mrs. Poers exit in the third act was worm

heard of something of that kind having been saio
Messrs Miner and Key certain that the play "ouIu

The subject OF the actresss costumes naturally soon
came up Mrs Potter preferred 20 let some one else uo
